Thanks again Spin.
Does anyone have any tips on how to chain with DexNav? I'm trying to get a shiny Joltik on route 116 and more often then not when I try and search for one it says that there are none in the area and to move to a different spot. Am I doing something wrong? Does it break the chain when it can't find a Pokemon in the area?

God damn, I wish I had known those two things. Ended up using two masterballs to relieve the frustration, and happy that I never had any cause to use the Masterball in X.

Ninjask with Sword Dance and Baton Pass is so GODLY in-game
Pretty much just spent a turn sword dancing against Wallace, Baton Passed to Machamp and one shotted the whole team. (Also gave Machamp Metronome for added power lol)

People called Romanes they go the house?
In my limited personal experience, in order to not get the 'not in the area' message, you need to be out of the grass, or at least not in a 'limited' area of screen space where you can't see another patch.
I have no idea how it actually works, tho.
Yes you can trade it back.
I just charged my phone so I could record the last ball throw.

I got so incredibly lucky. Made a stupid mistake and managed to get away with it. That was almost a nightmare.
Hot damn. Congratulations. Ho-Oh has a great Shiny too.

Its defensive stats are 123/72/92. It really is bulky as fuck, just with shit typing:
252+ SpA Abomasnow Giga Drain vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Aurorus: 230-272 (59.2 - 70.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Rotom-W Hydro Pump vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Aurorus: 332-392 (85.5 - 101%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
Doubles calc: 252 Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Aurorus: 320-380 (82.4 - 97.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
I don't think it's that good of a Pokemon but it's still bulky enough to take hits it shouldn't be taking. It's also pretty fun to use a scarf one in Battle Spot Doubles.

Ice dino is still just a vehicle to breed freeze dry on to better pokemon in my mind. Sorry, buddy.

Why are you apologizing for a Pokemon that I said isn't that good? >_>

I'm apologizing to ice dino for using him. It's part of my effort to better appreciate Kant's philosophical theories.

That's better than me, though, who will never use any of the Chimchar line for anything because I hate monkeys.
No problem.

it's okay, gen 4 was the last time they were good anyway
...and their designs were never good.

Those of you here that have trouble SRing for good legendaries can hit me up for master balls if you like.

I know other people complained about getting bored, but I like the pacing of this game a lot more than X and Y, with that ridiculous stretch between the first and second gyms, and the sort of aimless wandering around gyms 5-7.
I'm currently looking for a Sheer force Drilbur (or Excadrill, either works). I don't have much to offer, except Speed Boost Venipedes at this point.

I question anyone who prefers the pacing of XY to ORAS. XY's pacing is the worst of any of the mainline pokemon games.

That's a very solid Latias. Bold is a good nature for the Mega CM set.
Thanks! It even has a low IV in attack. A nice bonus I guess.
LOL was going for a Timid Latias (Abra Synchronizer), but the RNG gods said nope, you need a Bold one xD

Meanwhile in Latias news the RNG gods have decided to smite me:
#380 Latias [Naive]
IVs: 30, 31 / 0 - 3 / 30, 31 / 20 - 23 / 30, 31 / 30, 31
FUCKING NAIVE AGAIN WHY?

IVs: 30, 31 / 0 - 3 / 30, 31 / 20 - 23 / 30, 31 / 30, 31

I got another good spread on Naive earlier...then after resetting kept getting Timid with like 0-3 SpA

For me it is more frustration that the two false positive natures (naive) have had way better IV spreads than the timid ones, like the game is being spiteful here...to think how many more resets it would have been where it not for my 87 speed Spiritomb (sassy nature, 31 speed IVs level 92)
Edit: 87...not 97...

Finally got up to 50 win streak on super singles. Man some of the sets the ai had were really weird. Like, why are the pokemon holding Toxic and Flame orbs if they don't even have the abilites that benefit from them. I thought Machamp had a Flame orb for a guts boosted CC, that shit did nothing.
Also, a Latias had managed to evade my Greninja's Ice Beam. It didn't miss, it was evaded. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?! That got me so mad lol. Oh well, I got the BP for the items I needed, hopefully won't have to go back there for a while.

The abilities are random while the sets are fixed. Like you said, it is pretty stupid for anything with guts.
The Latias sets tend to run either white herb (Draco Meteor) or are holding the evade boost incense. That is how it dodged the Ice Beam.
Edit:
#380 Latias [Timid]
IVs: 31 / 17, 19 / 27, 29 / 24, 26 / 31 / 31
That'll do.

Well, Wally's Gallade pretty much got destroyed by Foul Play. Does this thing have any fighting type moves at all? It used Slash twice on SHIFTRY. lol

I make a point of not even looking at stats if the nature is bad, and this is the reason why.
I'm going to stop playing Pokemon for a while as I'm starting to feel burnt out with organising my boxes, lol.
I've got too many Pokemon. Some are purely for my living dex, others are competitive, some collections here and there (like Unown, events, etc.). It's a mess, but at least right now it's an organised mess.
Also need to transfer items from XY to ORAS as I can't be bothered going through the trouble of getting them.

Currently at 710 flags, barely get anyone with a Bronze or higher, but still making progress at least. I probably have 20 everstones and 7 of each evolution stone at least lol.
Been spreading Eon Tickets and my Gold Flag base through StreetPass and HomePass, so hopefully I'm helping people out.
Some people make their bases tricky. You have to go through it multiple times or pray to the RNG gods that it will teleport you to the correct teleport pad. I'm expecting for someone to make one I can't get out of eventually.
My base (long narrow cave) on the other hand has a teleport pad to get you closer to the flag and where I stand lol.

Yea, you don't want to deal with that lol.
I caught him I'm my second ultra ball, so yes
I would love getting two everstones, I don't have anything in particular to trade however. But I can EV train something for you or try picking up a good potential Shroomish if that's okay.
One thing that I kinda enjoy: They actually made May/Brendan a memorable and cool rival. RSE May/Brendan always were at the bottom of rival ranking lists, but the changes in ORAS really made them way better. I especially like the
XY's rivals now truly confirmed bottom of the barrel.
post-credits fight, even if the levels were too low compared to the Elite 4.

Maybe this will be useful for someone who wants to scout the speed of legendaries or maybe you'll find it useless. I picked Spritomb for the reason that its base speed covers a tonne of them purely by EV training and it should be able to tank hits (I suppose you could also Memento to make whatever comes in to false swipe have an easier time staying alive). Obviously it is bred to have infiltrator and not pressure (which would be a disaster). It can also use Hypnosis for those occasions where your false swipe user fails to put things to sleep *glares at Virizion*.
The Spritomb in mind has 31 Speed IVs but a Sassy nature and is level 100 (thank you Blissey).
Disclaimer. I may be made mistakes but I'm probably going to be the victim here as much as anyone also I only did it for OR stuff as that is what I own. For things like Dialgia watch out as its base speed is different to Palkia. No idea if the natures selected are current meta or anything. Also they will be useless in certain strategies (there is niche trick room use seen in the lake trio for example).

I actually completely forgot those "rivals", they were completely useless. After playing this game X/Y feels like a 3D test, so many things are done better.
And those are really handy Starwolf, thanks!
I'm playing the Delta episode right now, and apparently
there's a second Hoenn or something out there. Could it be a reference to the GBA games? Could it mean that the remake takes place in a parallel world, and both worlds are actually canon at the same time? If that's true, then my mind is blown. I thought these remakes were supposed to be upgrades of the original games (therefore replacing them), not new stories on top of them. Wow!

I'd rather a tricky base than one where the whole thing is walled off. Can't even go one step inside. And I've seen several of those.
